i went to the er last night because everytime i layed down a sharp stabbing pain would occur, then when i got up it felt almost like a warm fluid moved and became very itchy... the doc said maybe my canal was inflamed but i was probably just focusing too much on myself this has been happening for over 4 months i don't think i'm imaganing the problem any suggestions? oh and sometimes i hear a pop and can no longer hear as well for up to 2 hours
